At a glance
The Encrypt Pro is a premium all-around stick with a balanced hybrid kick and multiple flex/curve options, while the Catalyst 9X3 is a stripped-down pro stock stick built for one specific flex and mid-kick shot power. You're paying double for the Encrypt's versatility and signature finish, but the Catalyst delivers authentic NHL gear at half the price if you match its specs.
